DAVO - Needed U

Mat.Joe - Watch Out (Original Mix)

NYC-based DJ & producer Michael Grald has been sending us his brand of vocal tech since 2022. On hearing his first demos, we paired him up with Terri-Anne, and they released the percussive roller “City Of New York” that same year. Since then, we’ve watched him develop his sound via Amsterdam-based label, Anything Can Happen. His latest release for us takes in some Amsterdam influence for sure as he heads into deeper house territory with “In My Head”. A groovy beat, lovely bubbling synths, and a super, loopy vocal deliver all you need here for a DJ-friendly roller. Classy.

Michael Grald - In My Head (Extended Mix) [Glasgow Underground]

The Adam Ten & Solomun-inspired rise in left-field dance music has filled the “Indie Dance” DJ charts with an influx of new producers. KEYTARBI is one of these rising stars that has caught our ears, her “Quito” cut delivering the kind of uptempo chug we want in a left-field set. The wonderfully oddball “Pancakes” is her debut for us. Featuring the spoken tones of legendary house vocalist Robert Owens. “It ain’t over,” he tells us, “until Bertha calls you into the kitchen, for some of her delicious pancakes.” We have no idea what he’s on about either, but with a groove this good, who needs anything to make sense? It’s just a banger!

It’s a star-studded collaboration on Toolroom Trax as cultures collide between original Latin flavours and big club beats from STBAN and James Hurr.

Latin House producer and label head of Flamenca Records, STBAN makes his debut on Toolroom Trax with a collaboration that’s feels fresh and authentic. Known for championing house music laced with flamenco influences, STBAN has been carving out a lane that fuses tradition with the underground that stays true to his roots and sound.

On this new record ‘El Camino’, STBAN once again teams up with Josemi Carmona who layers original flamenco inspired instrumentation which is making these two quite the pair. To elevate the record further, they’ve invited Soleá Morente one of Spain’s most celebrated vocalists to deliver stunning original lyrics. Soleá’s career has spanned everything from indie flamenco to high-profile collaborations which brings an expertise of organic flamenco edge.

And because this is a Toolroom Trax release, the production is finished off with some serious club muscle in the form of James Hurr. A firm label favourite with a string of Beatport chart-toppers and collaborations with Mark Knight and Roland Clark, James adds his expertise in chunky club beats ensuring ‘El Camino’ has the right amount of punch to dominate those global dancefloors.
